OLED Display Forecasts 2016-2026: The Rise of Plastic and Flexible DisplaysTechnology analysis and detailed forecasts by market segment and display typeLONDON, June 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- OLED displays will continue gaining market share against LCD technology. The next evolution is plastic displays and flexible displays. These two new categories together will make a $18bn market within the next five years. Glass-based displays will remain an important technology, especially in TV applications where scale-up and cost reduction are still big challenges. This report gives a detailed analysis of the technology and forecasts by market segment and display type.OLED technology has recently gained significant market share in the display market. OLED displays are now mass produced for mobile phones, tablets, TVs, and wearables. IDTechEx forecasts the market for all types of OLED displays will reach nearly $16bn this year and will grow to $57bn in 2026. New 4K OLED TVs were recently launched by LG and Panasonic to critical acclaim. However, some TV manufacturers are hedging their bets by investing in LCD panels enhanced with quantum dots. These so-called "quantum dot LCD" TVs will be positioned as a cheaper upgrade from existing sets. IDTechEx expects that new production technologies will make OLED more competitive, allowing the market for OLED TV panels to grow at 26% CAGR over the next decade. New applications in wearable devices such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are also coming to market and provide new opportunities for suppliers of OLED displays. Sony, Oculus, and HTC have already announced new VR headsets based on AMOLED technologies. For AR glasses, OLED microdisplays are a major contender against existing LCoS (liquid crystal on silicon) technology. Based on a deep understanding of the technology roadmap and the existing bottlenecks, IDTechEx has forecasted the OLED display market in eight segments: - Mobile phone displays - Tablet and notebook displays - TV panels - Automotive and aerospace - Wearable electronics - Industrial and professional displays - Microdisplays - Other applications IDTechEx has been tracking printed, organic, and flexible electronics since 2001.
